dear sir, Employer company remits certain amounts monthly to a Trust created for the purposes of paying gratuity to retired employees. The Trust in turn remits these amounts to LIC annuity account . On each retirement , money is collected from the Trust and paid over to the Retired employee. Is the Trust liable to deduct TDS from the payments made to Company,s employee? If so at what rate ? Under which section ? On the whole amount or part of it?

ACTUALLY LOWER OF GRATUITY CALCULATED IS ALLOWED AS DEDUCTION FROM GRATUITY RECEIVED. LOWER OF : 1. RS.350000/- 2.ACTUAL GRATUITY RECD 3.15 DAYS AVERAGE SALARY FOR COMPLETED YEAR OF SERVICE. IF LEFT OVER TAXABLE AMOUNT IS MORE TRUST CAN DEDUCT TDS.
